More about Melissa

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker licensed in Florida with decades of experience working with clients and veterans with a wide range of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting issues, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD. I have worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to ake the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
